the hard lessons of his early years served jim well in washington. he knew how to fight for people and causes that he served. and he always worked for progress in a way that honored his principles. during his time in congress, jim made a career out of creating good jobs and building america. his priority was investing the future prosperity of his country, laying the foundation of a 21st american economy and i'm proud to say he has been my partner in building a modern transportation system in the twin cities. next month, major renovations on the union depot in st. paul, a modern multi modal transportation hub will create 3,000 construction jobs. only months later construction begins on the light rail between st. paul and minneapolis, creating thousands of more jobs. neither of these major investments would have been happening without jim oberstar. he had the vision to plan for the future. he has also demonstrated his leadership in times of great crisis and he's been effective. on august 1, 2007, the interstate 35-w bridge collapsed in minneapolis and

there needs to be a restraining order on washington. restore fiscal sanity in washington. american families and small businesses can't afford for congress to play chicken with their hard-earned tax dollars rather than renewing the tax cuts. dragging the debate in the next year, the result will be more money taken out of american family paychecks, impeded job creation and partisan political bickering. i would repeal the a.m.t. and permanently abolish the estate tax and insist that the unemployment compensation be offset by commonsense spending reduction. president obama won't sign the extension without the unemployment provision that makes the 2001 and 2003 tax relief permanent. congress must develop and adopt the plan to eliminate the deficit like any business or family in financial trouble. congress must learn from the mistakes by the bailout culture and support policies to improve the economic climate for entrepreneurs and small businesses. the road to prosperity allows you to take more home to your family and enjoy the economic freedom that has been the hallmark of amer

it becomes just another move in an old washington game. i think there was recognition today that that is a game we cannot afford, not in these times. and in a private meeting that i had without the staff -- without betraying any confidences -- i was pleased to see several of my friends in the room say, let's try not to duplicate that. let's not try to work the washington spin cycle to suggest that somehow the other side is not being cooperative. i think there was a sincere effort on the part of everybody involved to actually commit to work together to try to deal with these problems. and they understand that these are not times for us to be playing games. as i told the leaders at the beginning of the meeting, the next election is two years away. there will be plenty of time for campaigning. right now we're facing serious challenges. we share an obligation to meet them, and now will require choosing the best of our ideas over the worst of our politics. that is the spirit in which i invited both parties here today. i am happy with how that m

did so well to build the business, while that was going on, i was watching on what was going on in washington, d.c. in des moines, iowa and i saw and heard the voices of the people that came forward tell america that there was something wrong in this congress. and as i -- as i listened to them, they inspired me to get more engaged in politics, there were a lot of decisions being made in this city and in the capital cities in the states across the land that were affecting the very lives of the american people, down into their families, and a lot of folks didn't know this. they weren't paying attention. so i started to pay attention and from those years forward i saw what was going on. the irresponsible spending that was taking place and the dysfunctional congress that had rolled itself up into a point where it no longer represented the american people but it seemed to exist for its own purposes and not for the purposes of serving the american people. as this unfolded, the personalities that were here on the floor, newt gingrich and dick army and a number of others that stand out in my mind and
